5/5 Great film of old school martial arts
  by Jeff H. Del Mastro
Ok , why these clowns above me shot this great David Chaing film down is beyond me, I seen this film in drive in's when it came to the US.
This film has tons of great martial art and sword action that is uncomparable to any sword films ive seen even Kurosawa's movies. Only because of sure number of swings and balance from the movie's heroes and villians make this a rare piece of film making, unlike most films i counted over 100 plus dead in the final fight scenes. David Chiang played a great role of a self pity master swordsman , that reflects just how low a man can go in own life and spirit and then take revenge. I think out of the 200 plus martial art/sword films ive seen over the last 40 years i put this in the top 10 of all time martial art films. Too bad everyone is so spoiled over Bruce Lee and the latest street fighting style movies to come along in the last 20 years. There missing a great treat in the New One Armed Swordsman aka Triple Irons

4/5 Kung Fu, as I Remembered it
  by Old Skool Kung Fu
This movie was released in the U.S. as "Triple Irons" and it was one of the best Kung Fu movies that I had seen with David Chiang. The first copy I recieved was awful. Green screen, bad picture transfer mixed with German and French language. I contacted the seller and they sent me an excellent copy and I was satisfied! Sorry for some of u that recieved a bad copy, but if u contact the seller and let them know the dvd is bad they may send u a better copy. Good Luck!!!

1/5 Worthless quality.

I saw the original US release of this film in 1972 under the title "Triple Irons". The quality of this product is not worth even 1 star. The credits are in German. The dubbing switches between German and English. The contrast is so bad the night scenes are unwatchable.

I contacted the reseller, HKFLIX, and they were very prompt and helpful in my return request. I just hope they can find me a quality copy of the film.

1/5 Not better than a bootleg...

when it IS a bootleg. This is a copy stolen from the HK IVL DVD of the same name. Be sure to order the HK DVD or wait for the legit release from the Wienstien company.

3/5 better than bootleg...

...but not by much. Semi-letterbox (still missing LOTS on the sides) with mix of English (with music from the US version) & German (opening/closing credits-music in opening matches Chinese version) with a few lines shifting to German on soundtrack (evidently for scenes not in the US release). Picture varies from spotty to VERY scratchy (reel changes?). If you MUST have a dubbed version this is at least better than the old VHS mastered blurathon that is now OP. Look for a Thai version of the Celestial Pictures remaster (R0 tho' it claims to be R3) or get youself an allregion player & get the legit version!
